A sound of 20 dB intensity is twice as loud as one of 10dB?

No, it is 10 times louder. dB is a logarithmic scale; every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10. Thus, 10 dB is 10 times louder than 0 dB, 20 dB is 10 times louder than 10 dB, and 30 dB is 10 times louder than 20 dB.No, it is 10 times louder. dB is a logarithmic scale; every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.
